The provinces of the Atlantic or the Atlantic Canada is the name given to the four provinces of the east coast of the Canada. These provinces are the New Brunswick, the Nova Scotia, the island-of-Prince-Edouard and Ground-New-and-Labrador.

With the difference of the Seaboard provinces, the provinces of the Atlantic include Ground-New-and-Labrador.

Source of the term

The Prime Minister of Ground-New-and-Labrador, Joey Smallwood, defined this term when its province united Canada in 1949. He considered that the three provinces of the Maritimes constitutaient a distinct cultural entity. They united Conférédération well before Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick since 1867, the Island-of-Prince-Edouard in 1873. It thus wished to create a new entity.
